Written off (damaged beyond repair) in a forced landing at Crossens, near Southport, Lancashire 21.3.1991. Per the official report in the BAe Warton Flying Club newsletter...
"...in September 1986, the club was able to purchase its first four seat touring aircraft, a Cessna 172H registered G-AWXV. This aircraft provided long and sterling service to the club until suffering an engine failure due to carburettor ice on the 21st March 1991. The pilot managed to land 'XV in a field off New Lane, Crossens near Southport and alighted unhurt. G-AWXV, however, was not so lucky, her starboard undercarriage had collapsed on striking a raised dyke and the fuselage was written off. In June the same year a fuselage belonging to C172 G-AVUL was obtained from Lloyds Salvage and the Wings, Engine, Avionics and all other useable parts were transferred from 'XV to G-AVUL. G-AVUL first flew again in October ‘91..."
Registration G-AWVX formally cancelled by the CAA as WFU 18.11.1991.
